Sounds as if it was the driver's fault. I'm a long-time motorcyclist and one has to almost anticipate this happening. And, yes, the rider should have been wearing a helmet.


I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I would not make that judgement with out more detail, often they are passing other vehicles and if one slows down to allow someone to turn, bad things can happen because neither may be able to see each other.

I didn't make any judgement on what happened. I just posted a link to the article.

The driver of the car was wrong and I know the young man too. Sad.

Thank you, Lesley. Yes, there are irresponsible riders, but there are also responsible ones. I hope he recovers.

Lesley--I just don't get people that don't protect themselves, by wearing a helmet.. Hope he is ok.
